Base R's default setting for 'stringsAsFactors' within
'data.frame()' and 'as.data.frame()' is supposedly the most often complained
about piece of code in the R infrastructure. The 'hellno' package provides
an explicit solution without changing R itself or having to mess around with
options. It tries to solve this problem by providing alternative
'data.frame()' and 'as.data.frame()' functions that are in fact simple
wrappers around base R's 'data.frame()' and 'as.data.frame()' with
'stringsAsFactors' option set to 'HELLNO' ( which in turn equals FALSE )
by default.
